He’s criminally understand but does deep dives on tons of n64 games. Really enjoy his content.
- Comment on The Force Unleashed I/II was not as fun as I thought 2 days ago:
It’s worth playing just for the Darth Vader slaughtering of Wookies, imo. But yeah, the rest is pretty bad.
- Comment on Am I the only one who missed the Owncloud rewrite in Go? 2 days ago:
I agree. I’m this case it works out for me since I’m under the 3 user limit.

From a new fan, I found that 3 had the coolest environment. New Vegas bad much better gun mechanics. And 4 is good, a lot better than reviews I read made it sound. And the Nuka Town DLC was a lot of fun.

I chimed in on the vote for Seafile on this thread. But I think it’s worth trying NextcloudPi image to see if that does what you want. I’ve been presently surprised by how well it works compared to my experience with the AIO image.
- Comment on Suggestions for file sync / android backup / sharing software (nextcloud alternative) 2 days ago:
Came to say the same. Unlike Syncthing, it all syncs to the server and only downloads to your various devices when you want it to. Vital for my small SSD on MacBook Pro. Syncthing can do similar but requires individually selecting files and folders to ignore, which I did not want to do.

Pseudoregalia is on sale and actually super fun. Sort of PlayStation 1 graphics with cool traversal/parkour with a thicc bunny/deer lady protagonist.

I yoinked Undertale and Fallout 76. I just finished FO4, before that was New Vegas, and 3 before that. Finally got hooked on Fallout after years of trying and just not jiving. The show motivated me to try again.

What’s crazy is that I tried NC on my server, which is a HP Microserver G8 hosting 13 total services. And it ran like crap. Tried the standard and AIO versions. On a whim tried NextcloudPi on a Pi4 and it has been awesome! Web interface is still pretty sluggish but I use apps that sync to NC most of the time like:
- Quillpad for Google Keep type notes and checklists
- Floccus for bookmarks sync
- Deck for Kanban
- Gnome online accounts for desktop and laptop connection with documents
So far it’s been flawless. I doubt it would run well with more than a few users though.

You can get a free Seafile Pro license if you create an account with them. Limited to 3 users, iirc. That’s what I’ve been running and really using it to keep stuff on phone, desktop, and laptop reachable from any of the devices. I love it.
- Comment on Hack of Age Verification Company Shows Privacy Danger of Social Media Laws 3 days ago:
These laws don’t help when it’s insanely easy to install VPN clients on pretty much any device kids have access to. I have Adguard Home on our home network with the malicious and adult websites blocked. But still had a conversation with my kids about porn. And it turns out one of them had already been using a VPN on his phone and PC to bypass the local restrictions. We talked about it more, about being a good and safe “netizen” while discussing how unhealthy porn can be. I’m not anti-porn, but there is a lot of mistreatment of the people making it and can lead to some unhealthy misconceptions about sex and intimacy.
- Comment on How to sync local and remote calibre servers 3 months ago:
I guess I never thought of this sort of option. I run Calibre in a docker container on my unraid server. Any books I add are sent over via FTP from whatever device I’m on at the time. I do still have to go into the Calibre instance and add the book. I believe there’s a way to have it watch a folder for new items but not sure.
- Comment on Resticity - a cross-platform frontend for restic 3 months ago:
That looks nice! I tried to my brain wrapped around Restic CLI (and others) and just didn’t click for my smooth brain. I’ll have to try this.
- Comment on VPN to home network options 5 months ago:
That great, thanks for the info. I was able to get Wireguard setup in unraid but they make it pretty easy, so I didn’t have a problem. I just didn’t think about connecting to the entire network, not just the server.
- Comment on VPN to home network options 5 months ago:
Yeah I know some of those words…
I’m still a newb but I’ll have a look at that link, thanks!
- Comment on VPN to home network options 5 months ago:
Well, I didn’t realize that was an option to be honest, lol. I am having some issues with that box at the moment though so having a pi or my router acting as the gateway appealed to me with it’s longer uptime
- Comment on VPN to home network options 5 months ago:
Most services are on the unraid box. But I had a pi running Pi-hole for a long time (switched to adguardhome) and wanted that separate from the main server in case it went down. Pis boot up a lot faster than my server hardware and then you still need to start the array and mount drives. Having AGH on a Pi as primary DNS means minimal internet outages caused by my tinkering. I was given the 4 and put it in a really cool case that can fit a M.2 or 2.5" SSD and boot from it. So that is NextcloudPi and AGH. The 3 is because my 3d printer is nowhere near a LAN connection and 3 has WiFi. The 4 is sitting next to my router. We won’t mention the 1B I’ve been messing with too…

That’s looks handy. Thanks!
